    Lemur i5 vs i7 cooling difference?

    Does anyone know if there is a difference in cooling in the Lemur based on its configuration with the i5 3210M vs the i7 3630QM?

    The i5 is a 35w chip, while the i7 is a 45w chip. Does the lemur come with the same cooling heatsink regardless of the chip choice?

    Thanks!

    It does come with the same heat sink, but it's adequate for cooling either processor at full load. Under normal use, the system will scale back and use less power, therefore generating less heat, and both will be about even.
